One
day, in the previous week, at the college I teach for survival, in a Computer
Science class, I inquired if anyone of the students has something creative to
share, just to kill time. Someone said a girl wrote poems in
Malayalam. When I looked at her, she smiled and sat back shyly. There was an
evident inhibition. That was their common problem and as a teacher I could not
help them overcome this yet. They were not very confident to express themselves
in public.
Then another name came into voice. She writes English poems…someone
shouted. In order to overcome the communication gap that is built up between
inhibition and thought, this is what they did—they shouted from among other
students. They could shout in a crowd.
This student of mine, however, did not show any
inhibition. It was different. She was the topper in the class.
She stood up and read from her paper. Words flowed
forth and blessed all the ears it touched and all the minds that drank from the
stream of meaningfulness.
